HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
Issue Date: 601 PM EST SUN DEC 27 2009
Expiration: 545 AM EST MON DEC 28 2009
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.
.DAY ONE...THROUGH TONIGHT.
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL SPREAD
PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PIEDMONT BY WEDNESDAY EVENING.
AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE PRECIPITATION MAY START OUT AS
SNOW OR RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO RAIN BY
THURSDAY MORNING. IT APPEARS THAT ANY WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL
BE LIGHT SO WIDESPREAD TRAVEL PROBLEMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED.
HOWEVER THIS POTENTIAL EVENT IS STILL SEVERAL DAYS AWAY. THUS THE
EXACT TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS STILL IN
QUESTION. A STRONGER SYSTEM COULD CAUSE HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION. TRANSPORTATION AND COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE ADVISED TO
KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST FORECASTS THIS WEEK LEADING UP TO THIS
EVENT.
MUCH COLDER AIR IS ANTICIPATED BY NEXT WEEKEND. THIS MAY LEAD TO
VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILL VALUES.
